RS-232/ 422/485 pin assignment as below: 2.4Configuration Utility installation Advantech EKI serial device server Utility integrates device server management and virtual COM port configuration. After installation, this utility not only configures the EKI series device servers, but also connects and configures the ADAM series and EDG series device servers. Virtual COM port configuration and management was also integrated in this utility. The best improvement, you don’t restart the host while you setup new virtual COM ports. When you map the virtual COM port, the COM port will enable immediately and show in Windows Device Manager. In order to use a PC and an Ethernet network to control serial devices connected to the EKI serial device server, you must first have a host running Windows NT/2000/ XP. This type of application also requires the host to have an Ethernet card and the TCP/IP protocol installed. The following are the required steps for EKI serial device server 1.Insert the Advantech industrial communication CD-ROM into the drive (e.g. D:\) on the host PC. Change the host computer's default drive from C: to D: 2.Use your Windows Explorer or the Windows Run command to execute the Setup program (the path for the Setup program on the CD-ROM should be on the CD-ROM should be: 3.Upon executing the setup program, the Welcome Dialog Box will popup. Press the "Next" button to continue. EKI-1351/EKI-1352/EKI-1521/1522/1524 User Manual 26 4.If there is an existed COM port mapping utility on host, you have to remove this to go on installing. 5.Carefully read the Software License Agreement, and press "Yes" to continue. 27 EKI-1351/EKI-1352/EKI-1521/1522/1524 User Manual Chapter 2 Getting Started 6.The Setup program will specify a default installation path, C:\Program- Files\Advantech\EDG COMPort Utility.

For secure administration, it can also restrict the access rights for configuration to only one host PC to enhance network security. With this secure function enabled, other PCs will not have permis- sion for configuration. After the installation program on the Advantech INet CD is finished, the serial device servers will be ready for use and configure. Advantech Serial Device Server utility is excellent device server management tools. You can connect and configure the local and remote Advantech serial device servers easily, moreover, Virtual COM port will be enabled in the same utility. Using this utility, you can „Configure the network settings (you can set the IP address, Gateway address, and Subnet mask) „Configure Wi-Fi encryption settings „View and set the serial port parameters ( configure operating mode, baud rate, serial port settings and operating mode settings) „Perform diagnostic tests (virtual COM port testing, port status list) „Perform administrative functions (export and import the serial device server setting, manage access IP, set user account, a descriptive name, upgrade firmware) „Configure COM port redirector(virtual COM port) There are 4 major areas in this new serial device server utility. „Device Server List Area: All devices will be searched and listed in this view. You can arrange different favorite group and virtual COM ports „Device Server Information Area: Click on the server or move cursor to the device, the related information will be shown on this view. „Configuration Area: Click on the item on the Device Server List Area, the configuration page will display on this view. „Quick Tool Area: Useful management functions shortcut. 33 EKI-1351/EKI-1352/EKI-1521/1522/1524 User Manual Chapter 3 Configuring Serial Device Server There are five useful management functions shortcut on Quick Tool Area. „Utility Setting: Show the configuration utility window „Clear Device List and Search Again: Click on the button, utility will clear all list device servers in the Device Server List Area and re-search again.

You can neglect the key setting on the right side. –WEP Share Key: Both communication devices use the same key as encryp- tion. –Automatic: Detect the WEP situation of the access point automatically. EKI- 1351 and EKI-1352 will use the current key for encryption. If EKI-1351/1352’s key does not coincide with the access point’s key, the user should reset the same key and reboot to connect. „Encryption: If the system needs WEP encryption, the user has to set the key type. There are two kinds of encryption keys: 64 bits and 128 bits. For an open system, the encryption function is disabled. „Set the key format. The table shows the allowed characters and length of the different key index and key formats. EKI-1351/EKI-1352/EKI-1521/1522/1524 User Manual 46 „Index: This lists the supported encryption keys that you can choose from 3.3.2.4Wireless Advanced The tab identifies several parameters that are related to the 802.11b/g wireless net- work. We strongly suggested the default settings are not changed unless necessary. If you want to recovery to factory value, you click the “Reset to factory default value”. 3.3.2.5Beacon Interval In infrastructure networks, the access point periodically sends beacons. You can set the beacon interval with the access point configuration screen. In general, the bea- con interval is set to 100 ms, which provides good performance for most applications. In ad hoc networks, there are no access points. As a result, one of the peer stations assumes the responsibility for sending the beacon. After receiving a beacon frame, each station waits for the beacon interval and then sends a beacon if no other station does so after a random time delay. This ensures that at least one station will send a beacon, and the random delay rotates the responsibility for sending beacons.

You can decrease the beacon interval, which increases the rate of beacons. This will make the association and roaming process very responsive; however, the network will incur additional overhead and throughput will go down. In addition, stations using power save mode will need to consume more power because they’ll need to awaken more often, which reduces power saving mode benefits. 3.3.2.6RTS Threshold RTS Threshold is the frame size above that an RTS/CTS handshake will be per- formed before attempting to transmit. RTS/CTS ask for permission to transmit to reduce collisions, but adds considerable overhead. Disabling RTS/CTS can reduce overhead and latency in WLANs where all stations are close together, but can increase collisions and degrade performance in WLANs where stations are far apart and unable to sense each other to avoid collisions. If you are experiencing excessive collisions, you can try turning RTS/CTS on or (if already on) reduce RTS/CTS Threshold on the affected stations. 3.3.2.7Fragmentation Threshold Fragmentation Threshold is the maximum length of the frame, beyond which payload must be broken up into two or more frames. Collisions occur more often for long frames because sending them occupies the channel for a longer period of time, increasing the chance that another station will transmit and cause a collision. Reduc- ing Fragmentation Threshold results in shorter frames that "busy" the channel for shorter periods, reducing packet error rate and resulting retransmissions. However, shorter frames also increase overhead, degrading maximum possible throughput, so adjusting this parameter means striking a good balance between error rate and throughput. 3.3.2.8Preamble A preamble is a signal used in network communications to synchronize the transmis- sion timing between two or more systems. Proper timing ensures that all systems are interpreting the start of the information transfer correctly. 3.43.4 Setting serial parameters This section explains how to configure Advantech serial device server serial communication parameter using this utility. There are various operation modes that are suitable for different application. Click on the "+" before the model name (e.g. EKI-1522), and the utility will expand the tree structure to show the individual device name. And click on the “+” before the device name, and the utility will expand the interfaces on this device server. Select the serial interface.
